Abstract

The development of targeted therapies (Braf/MEK inhibitors) and immunotherapy have had a major impact on the treatment of melanoma. However, the majority of patients with advanced melanoma succumb to their disease. The mechanisms of resistance to both targeted therapies and immunotherapies are numerous and have been well described. These include alternative activation of Braf/MEK signaling, novel compensating mutations in additional oncogenes, and loss of neoantigens. Thus, there is an urgent need for novel therapies for advanced melanomas utilizing additional mechanisms of action.
